What is immoral is war itself. Once full-scale war has broken out it can never be humanized or civilized, and if one side attempted to do so it would be most likely to be defeated. That to me is the lesson of Dresden.

All right, Jacob is bringing this little event to a conclusion with a quick escape.  Gonna linger in Britain for one more page.  Gotta see Lola’s reaction.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: Stay underwater. I'm coming to you.
Aide: ...he was last seen swimming in East Wear Bay.
Lola: Tell the R.A.F. to kill every whale in British waters. I want a list of casualties. I want interviews with their families, their neighbors, their pets. Full media coverage. Victims of the plague are second page. Jacob Doe's victims are the headline.

  1. Rob says:

    Lola’s car looks like a Peel P50 in that last panel

  2. Sonja says:

    Isn’t the water on the beach a little too shallow to jump in directly?

  3. NJB says:

    Lola’s reaction feels more spiteful than her calm, cold, calculating demeanor so far. I’m guessing there’s a very messy breakup involved that she’s raw about and Jacob is either innocent or thanks to the Lethe protocol, none the wiser about..

  4. EveryZig says:

    I think her actions are not motivated by spite, but by a calculated attempt guilt-based psychological warfare.

  5. The Sidhekin says:

    I get the part about killing whales, but why list the resulting casualties …

  6. I see that our Genocide Project took some inspiration from the late avatar of order. This looks like something Mr. Grant would do to his enemies.
